Decked out in Germany's national colours, the A1 e-tron Germany Olympic Team Edition gets a number of yellow, red and black highlights, along with black-backed headlights and a patriotic interior makeover.

While this example is a one-off showcar, Audi has supplied 60 A1 e-tron cars for the games, where they are being used as a shuttle service between the MS Deutschland cruise ship and the German House.

The A1 e-tron is powered by a unique hybrid powertrain that pairs a 245cc range-extending rotary engine with a 45kW/150Nm electric motor that can boost output to 75kW and 240Nm when needed.

Combined with a 12kWh lithium-ion battery pack, Audi promises a 0-100km/h time of around 10 sconds, and a top speed of 120km/h. Audi pegs the car's fuel economy at around 1.9 l/100km.
